Hello law man and jno, once again thanks for yur quick resposes. Lman, im one hundred percent that sure that i din't go to court, the reason being i didn't want my folks to find out. You say that you can only get a criminal record if the court magistrate hears your guilty plea, but if i plead guilty to the police detective, isnt that the same just taking a short cut, cos wont the detective give my file to the court? Im sorry about these silly questions, but im quite clueless when it come to stuff like this.
I live in South Africa in Durban and that is where i commited this offense.
I just dont ee why the detective would lie to me by saying a have a criminal record, would he say it to scare me so i don't do it again?
Are the laws diffrent here in South Africa than in the US or the UK?
Many thanks and warm regards,
T*
